The polka dance is done by a 3 step count; in other words... one two three, one two three. It starts with the male (leader) taking a step on his right foot, while the woman (p…artner) steps on her left. The first step is the one then the second step is on the opposite foot for both, then the third count is on the original foot. L for partner and R for male. If you look it up on youtube you will be able to find a video. My favorite song to practice to is called the Pennsylvania Hills Polka, by polka family. You can find that on youtube as well. Good luck, -polka chick

Standing on the balls of your feet, hop up on one foot and land on that same foot. Then take three small steps. Repeat, starting with the other foot. The hop step is actually …done before the first beat of the measure, as a preparation. The overall body motion should be up and down, not side to side.

You can maintain power over people as long as you give them something. Rob a man of everything and that man will no longer be in your power.

the costumes are colorful. It was so colorful to show the audience that it was fun to dance the Polka sa Nayon because if it was colorless, it was like it was so boring to see…. And colorful is equal to happiness (that was only my opinion)

Polka sa Nayon means Polka in the Village. This dance comes from the province of Batangas in the Tagalog Region of the Philippine Islands. In the old days it was very popu…lar and was usually danced at all the big social affairs and at the town fiestas or feasts.

This is from Wikipedia: "The beginning of the propagation of dance and accompanying music called polka is generally attributed to a young woman, Anna Slezakova (born Anna Chad…imova) of Labska Tynice, Bohemia, who danced to accompany a local folk song called "Strycek Nimra koupil simla", or "Uncle Nimra Bought a White Horse", in 1834. She is said to have called the dance Madera, because of its liveliness."
